Concerning measures to promote social distancing for legal marijuana, and, in connection therewith, modifying the physical examination procedure to obtain a medical marijuana card and repealing the prohibition on selling retail marijuana products online and to a person not physically present in the retail marijuana store's licensed premises.
Bill Summary:
Under current law, a physician is required to conduct an in-person physical examination of a person prior to certifying that the person would benefit from medical marijuana. The bill permits a physician to treat, counsel, and conduct appropriate personal physical examinations, in person or remotely via telephone or video conference, to establish a bona fide physician-patient relationship with a patient seeking a medical marijuana card.
Under current law, retail marijuana stores are prohibited from selling retail marijuana and retail marijuana products online and to a person not physically present in the retail marijuana store's licensed premises. The bill repeals this prohibition.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
